Your Future Depends On It.
Six Pixels of Separation
Everyone Is Connected.
Connect Your Business
To Everyone.
The transition of all industries into the fully-digital future leaves everybody caught in a middle ground - it's not heaven, it's not hell, and it's very confusing. Businesses and employees are not sure where things are headed or what they must do to survive and thrive.
In short, This is a time of purgatory.
In his new book, CTRL ALT Delete, Mitch Joel provides a roadmap for business and professional success through this purgatory. It explains the convergence of five movements that will change business forever, identifies seven triggers that will help individuals take advantage of those movements, and shows all readers how to make the necessary reboot - in effect, how to CTRL ALT Delete.
This is not a book about "change management," but about "change business models."
Divided into two sections (Reboot: Business and Reboot: You), CTRL ALT Delete explains five key movements, with examples from companies that are successfully making the right shifts, and also shows how individuals can move from just doing a job to doing the work that they were meant to do.
While Mitch's first book, Six Pixels of Separation, was about how (and why) new media had changed business forever, CTRL ALT Delete answers the question "now what?"; Now that everyone is on social networks, sharing and conversing, how do you pivot your business to capitalize on just how much our world has changed, and get the edge on where all of this is taking us?
CTRL ALT Delete will help you navigate out of our business purgatory.
You, your brand and your employees will be prepared for where things are headed and what it takes to thrive in this new business landscape.
Is it important to be connected? Well, consider this: If Facebook were a country, it would have the sixth largest population in the world.
The truth is, we no longer live in a world of six degrees of separation. In fact, we're now down to only six pixels of separation, which changes everything we know about doing business.
This is the first book to integrate digital marketing, social media, personal branding, and entrepreneurship in a clear, entertaining, and instructive manner that everyone can understand and apply.
Through the use of timely case studies and fascinating stories, SIX PIXELS OF SEPARATION offers a complete set of the latest tactics, insights, and tools that will empower you to reach a global audience and consumer base--and, best yet, you can do this pretty much for free.
Digital marketing expert Mitch Joel unravels this fascinating world of new media--but does so with a brand new perspective that is driven by compelling results. The smarter entrepreneurs and top executives are leveraging these digital channels to get their voice "out there"--connecting with others, becoming better community citizens, and, ultimately, making strategic business moves that are increasing revenue, awareness, and overall success in the marketplace--without the support of traditional mass media.
Everyone is connected. Isn't it time for you and your company to connect to everyone?
SIX PIXELS OF SEPARATION will show you how

In today's world of constant Twittering, pinging, poking, and Facebooking, connecting your business to your customers is essential. Trouble is, the old rules won't help you much. Today, as Mitch Joel explains in this terrific book, survival depends on creating real value, speaking authentically, and building trust. For anyone looking to understand the new media landscape, Six Pixels of Separation is the ultimate guidebook.
-- Daniel H. Pink, author of A Whole New Mind

If you've been waiting to catch up on what's been going on, here's your chance. Better hurry."

In an age where your phone can hold all the music you own you may be wondering why you might still need an iPod touch 5th Generation.
The answer is that the iPod touch is not just an iPod anymore. While Apple still sells the old fashioned iPod Classic and has just rebooted with the iPod nano 7th Generation, the iPod touch has taken over as the champion of the iPod brand – it's essentially a media player par excellence that has morphed into a handheld gaming console thanks to the sheer number of excellent, and very cheap, games available via the App Store.
It's this gaming and app angle that really gives the touch its raison d'être. If you can't afford the premium tariffs that the iPhone attracts and you still want to take advantage of the thousands apps that Apple's App Store holds then the iPod touch is your cheapest route to entry.
The latest iPod touch 5th Generation takes the best features of the iPhone 5, like the taller 640x1136 pixel, 4-inch screen and the iOS 6 software update with Siri, and adds a few little quirks of its own, like a choice of coloured backs (black, grey, pink, yellow, blue and a sixth Product Red) and a new strap called an 'iPod touch loop'.
Along the way the camera has been upgraded to an iSight camera with a built-in flash that's capable of 1080p video recording and the processor has been upped to a dual-core A5 chip, giving it twice the processing power of the previous single-core A4 chip. Both the screen size and the faster processor are important for gaming, but more of that later.
Memory configurations have been simplified. The new 5th gen is available only in 32GB and 64GB flavours.
Finally, the new iPod touch runs iOS 6, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system in all its glory, which means that both Panorama – a new mode for taking panoramic photos, and Siri, Apple's intelligent voice-activated personal assistant, are available here.
Note: neither of these two features work on a iPod touch 4th Generation running iOS 6.

Overwhelm is one of the most common challenges for entrepreneurs.
No surprise, of course.
Business owners and entrepreneurs tend to have one thing in common:
They're creative types with lots of great ideas and a deep desire to be of service in the world. (If you're reading this, you're probably that kind of person, too.) This means they are often challenged by the practical day-to-day stuff of life. To-do's, organization, finances, getting things done. NONE of this comes easy to them! Overwhelm becomes a way of life.
Only problem is this:
Overwhelm leaves you emotionally drained, constantly feeling like you'll never quite catch up.
As an entrepreneur, you might have to accept that you'll be overwhelmed on a regular basis, but you can also take a few practical steps to overcome overwhelm. Here are five secrets I've learned along the way that have helped me get back on purpose in my daily life.
Overcoming Overwhelm Tip #1
Get out of the weeds
I was a shitty waitress.
Not a single night went by in any of the vast numbers of restaurants where I waited tables when I wasn't totally in the weeds. If you've waitressed, then you know what it feels like. So much is happening so fast that you can't even pause to regroup. (Don't get me started on the nightmares I used to have after shifts like this!)
Many of us live our whole lives like this! We begin our day and just start reacting.
If this is you, then it's time to get out of the weeds and into the habit of something I call Self-Summits. (In my Uplevel Your Life® Mastery Program and in Uplevel Academy™, my clients get a tool called the Sunday Summit™. Thousands of people now swear by this one practice!)
A Self-Summit (or Sunday Summit!) is a weekly 30-minute practice – Sundays are perfect! – during which you connect with your intentions, remind yourself of your goals, and get clear on your priorities. You look at the week ahead and:
• List your top three priorities (not your 57 to-do's!) for the week.
• Get the breakthrough lessons for the week before.
• Schedule your work-out time, your writing time, your downtime, etc.
This one practice does wonders for keeping you on track.
Why? Because it doesn't leave room for choice in the moment.
When creative types get to ask themselves, "Well, what do I feel like doing now?" you can pretty much bet that nothing good will come of it!
Hey, even if your week doesn't work out exactly as planned, this is better than not having any plan at all!
Overcoming Overwhelm Tip #2
Project vs. Task
Is this your to-do list?
"Re-paint office. Create website. Write book. Eat healthy."
If so, then it's time to discern between a project and a task.
A project is something big…like a website. It looms like a monolith on your to-do list, with its own foreboding theme song that plays every time you glance at it.
A task, on the other hand, is something you can actually complete. Like, "Write bio." Or "Call Photographer."
Learn to break down your projects into tasks during your Self-Summits, and you'll reduce your overwhelm by 77%!
Overcoming Overwhelm Tip #3
Experience Completion
I make my clients set their goals so small that they sometimes roll their eyes at me.
I do this because most of the entrepreneurs I work with have never allow themselves the bold luxury of simply experiencing completion.
When you experience completion, then you can maintain your motivation. When you are always running to keep up with your 73-item to-do list, then you are prone to overwhelm and burn out. Make your goals and your to-do list small so that you can revel in getting complete!
Think of completion as an essential vitamin that makes you immune to overwhelm!
Overcoming Overwhelm Tip #4
Set the Timer
This will sound so simple and stupid that you'll think, "Yea, yea yea. Got it. A timer. Duh."
But hear me out!
Let's say you've scheduled 2 hours to write Chapter 4 of your book. Set the timer for 55 minutes, and write. Don't go one minute over or under. Take a five-minute break. Then set your timer for another 55 minutes.
When the clock is running, you won't be as tempted to go downstairs to put the clothes in the dryer, or see if the mail has arrived. It's an effective mind game that keeps your butt in the chair and your focus on the task. Even my most skeptical clients have become believers in the timer.
Overcoming Overwhelm Tip #5
Eliminate All-Or-Nothing Thinking
Many creative types see only two options:
Either be in-the-moment idea people, chaotic, and spontaneous…
Be a totally boring robot who never experiences love or joy.
This is called All-or-Nothing Thinking. It is also a Limiting Belief. It is downright untrue and even destructive, and it will keep you playing catch-up forever!
The trick to overcoming overwhelm is to play with these new habits. Tweak them so they work for YOU. Many people use all-or-nothing thinking as an excuse for not even trying. They give up on themselves way too quickly.
Don't expect to be perfect when you first start digging out of overwhelm. But DO expect yourself to keep practicing these habits.

News: Loading Human - An Evolved Interactive Adventure Game - January 27, 2014
André Gibson has a degenerative memory disease. His wife Michelle, winner of a Nobel Prize for Science, decides to save him by testing her invention: the transfer of the human mind into a robot.
This transfer is irreversible and consists of traveling lucidly through memories as they are being scanned, reviving them in the exact manner in which they occurred. However, a single discrepancy could kill the patient.
André's disease has eroded many of his memories, so it's impossible for the transfer to be successful unless Michelle transfers herself into the same robot and allows André to access her memories, which will help him complete the missing parts of his mind.
André discovers that Michelle has a dark side through which the truth about "loading human" will gradually be revealed.

City of Haltom City Municipal Court
Click here to browse all of the jurisdictions we serve in DFW and Texas.
Web Pages of Interest
Have you received a traffic citation!
Don't just pay your court fine. Instead, pay the law office of Todd E. Tkach a small fee to try to get your citation dismissed and protect your driving record!
If you simply pay the fine for your citation, you are pleading guilty. If it is a moving violation, that becomes a part of your driving record and could raise your insurance premiums. In that event, you end up paying the full amount of your fine several times over the next few years.
Our goal is to have the charges against you dismissed. If we cannot get your citation dismissed, we will aggressively negotiate with the prosecutor to achieve the best possible result for you. A large percentage of our clients' citations are dismissed and will never appear on their driving records.
You only have a few days to either request a court appearance or pay your fine. If you do nothing, a warrant for your arrest will be issued. Don't wait! Hire us now to take care of your citation.
Has a warrant for your arrest already been issued!
No problem. If you hire us, we'll post a surety bond to lift (remove) the warrant and have your case set for a hearing. Then, we'll fight to have your citation dismissed.

Working with Percents
Lesson 5 of 21
Objective: • Define percent • Use diagrams and benchmarks to make sense of percents • Use ratio reasoning to solve real-world problems • Solve problems including finding the whole when given a part and a percent
Big Idea: What is a percent discount? Students apply their knowledge of ratios and percents to figure out which store has the better deal.
Do Now
See my Do Now in my Strategy folder that explains my beginning of class routines.
Often, I create do nows that have problems that connect to the task that students will be working on that day. Today I want students to review the benchmark fractions and translate them into decimals and percents. From our work during the College Project, students should be able to quickly identify the missing amounts.
I ask for a student to define percent. I want students to remember that a percent represents an amount out of 100. I declare that 0.1 is 1%. I want students to realize that 0.1 is one-tenth. When we create an equivalent percent, it must be out of 100. I ask for volunteers to critique my reasoning. Students are engaging in MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Resources (3)
Trash-ketball Challenge
- To play this game I have 3 baskets (trashcan, recycling bin, etc.) set up on one side of the room. I place painter's tape on the floor to show the spot where students must stand to shoot.
- I collect scrap paper and put a stack by each group.
- Each group needs two whiteboards and two whiteboard markers for the group recorders.
I arrange my class into three groups. I ask for 2 volunteers in each group to be recorders. One recorder will use tally marks and the whiteboard to track the total number of shots taken by their group. The other recorder will use tally marks and the whiteboard to track the total number of shots that make it into the basket by their group members. I explain that members that are shooting the paper balls will need to be behind the tape line. If a group member does not follow the directions, he/she will be told to sit out.
I set the timer for one minute and tell the students to begin. When the minute is up, we clean up and come back to our seats. I ask the group recorders to share out their data. Each student records the data in their table. I ask students, "How can we find out which group won?" Some students may say that the team who made the highest number of baskets is the winner. Other students may create a fraction comparing the number of shots made to the total shots taken.
I record the ideas and tell students that I want them to think about how we could determine the winner while we work on today's lesson. We will return to this question during the closure.

Percent Practice
I have students participate in a Think Pair Share about the meaning of percent. I want students to remember that percent means an amount of out 100.
I tell students that a typical way they will have to use percents is to calculate sale prices when they are shopping. Being able to find sale prices will help you get the best deal. Introduce the formula as a way for students to understand the relationship between the original price and a discount. The percent discount is the percentage subtracted from the original amount.
We go through problem 2 together. I show student the percent bar diagram as a way to visually represent the information in the problem. I ask students:
- What fraction is equivalent to 50%?
- What is 50% of $60?
- If the headphones where 50%, how much would you pay? How much money would you save?
- What fraction is equivalent to 25%? Where would 25% go on our diagram?
- What is 25% of $60?
- If the headphones were 25%, how much would you pay?
A common mistake is that students calculate 25% of $60 and list that as the sale price. If I see this happening, I ask what it means for an item to be 25% off. I want students to realize that they must first find the dollar amount that is equal to 25% and then subtract that from the original price.
I have students work on problem 3 in partners. I walk around and monitor student work. I call on a student to show his/her work under the document camera and explain his/her thinking. I ask the class for comments or questions for that student. I bring up any common mistakes or struggles that I observed while students were working.

Sale, Sale, Sale!
- Before this lesson, I use data from the pretest and/or the previous lesson's ticket to go to Create Homogeneous Groups. Students work in groups of 2-3.
- I give each group a Group Work Rubric. This way I can silently give them feedback on their cooperation throughout the work time. This will be their citizenship grade for the day.
Students move into their groups. I call on a student to read the situation. I call on a different student to read question 1. I tell students they have 2 minutes to talk with their group members and make a prediction. Before they move on, they must write down their prediction.
As students work, I walk around and monitor student progress and behavior. Students are engaging in MP1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them, MP2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively, MP4: Model with mathematics, and MP5: Use tools strategically.
If students are struggling, I may ask one or more of the following questions:
- What is this problem about?
- How many games do they want to buy?
- Which games will be discounted 20%? Which games will be discounted 30%?
- What is the deal at Games For You?
- Does the coupon apply to the original price or the discounted price?
- How can you find 10% of a price?
- How can knowing 10% help you find 20% and 30%?
If students are struggling to draw a visual, I will have them look at the visual for problem 3 in percent practice. They can use this as a reference.
If students need extension, I may ask them one or more of the following questions:
- At Games For You, does it make a difference if you apply the coupon first and then apply the store discount? Why or why not?
- Let's say you wanted to by a $10 game. Would taking 25% off, then 30% off the game be the same as taking 55% off of the game? Show and explain your thinking.
- You buy a game at Games For You and you pay $15 before taxes. What was the original price of the game? Show and explain your work.
Resources (5)
For Closure I have students return to the question about the trash-ketball challenge. I ask for students to share their thinking about how we can determine the winner. I want students to realize that they could find the percent of shots made for each group. The group with the highest shooting percentage is the winner. This will be an opportunity for students to work with numbers that may not translate nicely into a percentage. I ask students to share their strategies and their findings. Students are engaging in MP2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Instead of a ticket to go, I collect student work and pass out the Homework.

Cigarettes banned in UK – Well almost!
After banning smoking in closed public places in UK several years ago, the UK government has gone a step further this time. A law has been introduced that bans smoking if there is a kid in the car.
Fines have been imposed for anyone found violating the law. This is only applicable in England and Wales whereas Scotland and Ireland are currently exempt from this. However there is a high possibility that both Scotland and Ireland will follow suit very soon!
£50 is the fine that would have to be paid by anyone who is found smoking in car in the presence of children. Not only this, if there is another adult in the car who didn't stop the smoker from smoking, they would be fined too!
Is this taking the laws too far? Is UK becoming a nanny state? Or do you think the law is very reasonable and a necessity of time we live in?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration is turning to top economic adviser, Jeffrey Zients, to manage the government's repair of its troubled new health care website.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Tuesday that Zients, a former budget official who is on his way to becoming President Barack Obama's top economic adviser on January 1, has been brought in to provide "management advice and counsel" to the project.
Obama on Monday promised to fix the healthcare.gov website, which opened on October 1 for millions of uninsured Americans to start enrolling for plans under the 2010 Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare." Americans have encountered error messages and other problems in trying to sign on.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in an HHS blog posting that Zients will provide short-term advice, assessments and recommendations. Additional experts have been brought in, including veterans of top Silicon Valley companies, to work on the problems, she said.
"This new infusion of talent will bring a powerful array of subject matter expertise and skills, including extensive experience scaling major IT systems," Sebelius said.
White House spokesman Carney described Zients as "an expert in the field of effective management, and the HHS will be tapping his experience and expertise as they address the challenges that have come up with the administration of the website."
A prolonged delay in getting Healthcare.gov to work could jeopardize the White House's effort to sign up as many as 7 million people in 2014, the first full year it takes effect.

Re^5: Perl Babysteps 1: Your First Simple Scriptby Juerd (Abbot)

|Need Help??
You sound like we should make the process of learning perl very hard, so it will attract only inteligent people.
Not very hard. Just a little harder than very easy. Intelligence says nothing about quality of life, but it does say something about which jobs are good for you. And yes, I do think we'd benefit from trying to attract intelligent people, and not-attract (not saying "get rid of") people who need instructions like Nice work! You have begun to learn Perl by writing a complete program which gets input from a user and prints output including a modified version of their input. Stop for a minute and think about how cool that is. That's something I'd expect in an interactive Hangman, after having guessed the word "elephant". Or no, not even kiddyware says Stop for a minute and think about how cool that is.
By the way, let's pretend *we* are intelligent and spell the word correctly.
One thing that can kill a language to a programmer is the learning curve.
A good thing, IMO. I am convinced that anyone who is afraid of a learning curve will continue to be afraid of learning later on, even after having learned the basics. These are the people who still ask basic questions after having used Perl for over a year and are then offended if you refer them to perlintro or Beginning Perl.
Are Perl and PHP idiotic languages compared to C and Java?
Perl and PHP are dynamic languages, C and Java are not. The comparison isn't terribly useful. Perl, PHP, Ruby, Python are all in the same realm and yes, PHP is an idiotic language compared to any of the other three I mentioned.
there's no point to be rude just because you have more knowledge than other people.
I agree. But I do want to add that there's also no point in being overly friendly and hand holding, because that'll only make them depend on us, while many are very capable of finding out how things work on their own.
If you don't have the patience to answer the "idiots" just don't do it.
For some, it's patience. For others, it's just time. But you'd get back both groups if there were many less newbies asking questions that are answered by tutorials (good ones, like this one and this one).
Ok, it's an idiot piece of code. Stupid really, but it was my name running on my MSX screen (a B&W TV) that made my interest for code to arise.
Please note that there is a difference between writing a small program that helps you realise how cool programming is, and thinking the small program you wrote itself is cool.
You are generalizing a whole community of programmers because of some.
Not I am generalizing the Perl community, others are. It's not my opinion that we're a bunch of elitist arrogant people. Only some of us are. (I won't deny that I may be one of them.)
[PHP] tries to put things in a nice, clear way
The result is certainly clear and friendly. But not correct, good enough or nice. The only thing about PHP documentation that is better than Perl documentation is that they have this short domain with handy shortcuts to documentation, like http://php.net/print. But that's no longer a problem, as I now used tnx.nl for that, with Perl documentation: http://tnx.nl/print :)
I've made a PHP script that parses text and checks against more than two million words in a database and then format them with bold and colors. It runs in less than one second. That's a good performance, IMO.
Good enough isn't the same as good. And this really depends heavily on the machine you use, and its load. I am absolutely certain that the same program written nicely in Perl will run even faster.
Well, I live for dynamic sites, so it suits me perfectly. Am I an idiot because of this? Why "building dynamic sites" is seen as a poor implementation of code?
I said PHP is useful only for dynamic content, and I said that PHP is idiotic. This does NOT imply that having dynamic content is stupid, or that people having dynamic content are idiots.
Have you ever imagined the web without dynamic content?
No. But I do note that today, mostly initiated by PHP, many web sites that effectively serve static content are now dynamic. A program/script is run for every requested document, and this puts heavy load on the server. At first, this isn't a big problem, but when you start to wish for real static content (because the server is under too heavy load), it's usually too late, and more complex changes are needed. This is because although PHP is really a powerful templating language, it can't easily be used outside the web server context.
I still didn't found any reasonable arguments to make such a serious statement.
Have a look at this and the pages it refers to.
If you do this you will be excluding people and thus making the community smaller.
It'd limit the growth, but it would not actually make anything smaller.
Allow differences, allow newbieness, allow idiots. Put a smile on your face when you see a newbie question.
I do all of that. But that doesn't mean I think we should encourage non-programmers to become programmers. I'm convinced good programmers are more or less born like that, and that they only need to learn to use the appropriate tools.
Try to remember the time when you were the newbie and you did your best to improve. The time when you thought for hours before posting a question and still were affraid of being critiscized for your newbieness.
Sorry, I never went through such a phase, and can't imagine what it would be like, either.

Blood cancer charity in branding blitz
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is looking to raise its profile—and donations—with its first-ever large-scale ad campaign.
The multiplatform campaign aims to persuade the public that a cure for cancer—some cancers, anyway—is within reach, and that the society is leading the charge.
Dubbed "Someday is Today," the campaign, with creative by New York agency Interplanetary, includes a website and a combination of PSAs and paid TV advertising along with print and outdoor advertising. The 60-second TV ad opens with a voiceover: "You'll remember this day forever. You'll remember where you were. This day has never been closer." A man picks up a newspaper that reads "Cancer cured!" "Today, thanks to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, hundreds of thousands with blood cancer are living a normal life," the voiceover continues. "We've spent nearly a billion on cancer treatments once thought impossible. We're almost there, but we need your help."
The society is spending $5 million on paid ads, with PSAs worth $9-$15 million making up the balance. The campaign will run through the end of the year.
"Our objective is to build brand awareness so people have more knowledge of what we do and the impact of what we do," said Lisa Stockmon, SVP, marketing at the society. "It's telling our story in a humanistic and modern way that engages our 62 chapters and also provides a marketing umbrella for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, because we want to make sure people have an emotional connection and are aware of our role in the battle against blood cancers."
Since its founding in 1949, the society has spent more than $875 million on blood cancer research. Most of that has come in the form of academic grants, but in 2007, the society launched its Therapy Acceleration Program, through which they collaborate with biotech companies, investing in more advanced research.
"We've touched the discovery or development of nearly every blood cancer therapy," said Stockmon, "from targeted drugs like Gleevec, Velcade and Kyprolis to immunotherapies like Rituxan."
Seventy-eight percent of the society's spending goes to mission activities, said Stockmon.
The campaign's effectiveness will be measured not only by viewer engagement, but by donations.
"We have this notion we're not your grandfather's charity," said Stockmon. "We want you to invest in us and the work we do."

Justin Bieber: Why He Gave Gold 'Engagement Ring' To Selena Gomez
Justin Bieber recently gave Selena Gomez a very special gift: The gold band she's been wearing on her left right finger! HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned why Justin gave Sel the ring, and the major importance behind it. Get all of the romantic details here!
Are Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez engaged? Why has she been sporting that fancy gold ring on her left ring finger? HollywoodLife.com has all of the details right here!
Justin Bieber's Gift To Selena Gomez
Have you noticed that shiny gold band on Selena's left ring finger lately? If you're a diehard Selenator like we here at HollywoodLife.com are, you might have!
Of course once we noticed the ring on 21-year-old Sel's most important finger, we just had to find out if it was a gift from Justin, 20. It seems to be really special to her, and she's been wearing it non-stop since their reunion on March 7 in McAllen, Texas. The songstress even wore the ring at the 2014 Kids' Choice Awards on March 29 in Los Angeles, Calif.
A Jelena insider has EXCLUSIVELY shared with HollywoodLife.com, "The ring was a gift from Justin, it's not an engagement ring, but they are back on and very serious."
How romantic!
Will Selena and Justin Elope?
Even though things are better than ever with Selena and Justin, her family is worried about the special ring he gave her.
"Her family is extremely worried that she'll do something crazy like elope with him," our insider shared. "Selena is totally wrapped back up in Justin, it's the same pattern happening all over again."
However, we don't think they should be too concerned just yet.
Justin must be working very hard to make things up to Selena, and the ring was more than likely just his way of proving to her that he's in it for the long run. By wearing the ring, Selena really proves that Justin has claimed her heart again.
We will continue to root for these two! Hopefully, they are on the right track back to happiness. It certainly seems that way!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers — Are Selena and Justin going to elope? What do you think of the ring he gave her? Let us know your thoughts below!

"An Acknowledgement of Wrongdoing"
Two of the teens charged in connection with Phoebe Prince's suicide resolve their cases—and receive light penalties.
Read the rest of Emily Bazelon's series on cyberbullying.
For the past year, Sean Mulveyhill and Kayla Narey have faced serious felony charges in connection with the suicide of Phoebe Prince, charges that carried heavy prison sentences. Today, however, they both walked out of court with a relatively minor penalty. The teenagers, both 18, each received a year of probation and community service.
In Mulveyhill's case, the probation came in exchange for a guilty plea to a single misdemeanor count of harassment. Narey accepted responsibility for harassing Phoebe, but the judge ruled that her case would be continued for a year, which means that if she completes her probation successfully, she will have no criminal record.
The pleas took place at an emotional hearing. It included the first public statement by Prince's mother about her daughter's death in January 2010, when she was a 15-year-old freshman at South Hadley High School who had recently emigrated from Ireland with her mother and sister. The hearing also offered the first public apology, from Narey, by any of the teens who since last April have faced unusual criminal charges in connection with Prince's death. After a column in the Boston Globe blamed "mean girls" and bullying for Prince's suicide, and some South Hadley residents accused the school district of shirking its responsibility to help Prince and later to investigate the circumstances leading up to her death, the district attorney's office in Western Massachusetts brought an array of charges against six teenagers. The most serious charge was a felony count of civil rights violation with bodily injury, which carries a 10-year maximum sentence. (A sixth teen was not accused of bullying Phoebe but was charged with statutory rape, for allegedly having sex with her when she was 15 and he was 18.) In bringing the charges last April, then District Attorney Elizabeth Scheibel accused the five students of carrying out a "three month campaign" of bullying and blamed them for Prince's suicide.
The accounts agreed upon by the prosecution and the defense and recounted in court today were unsparing in their descriptions of the bad behavior of Mulveyhill, Narey, and a third student facing charges, Ashley Longe. But they were far more circumscribed than Scheibel's initial accusations. There was no evidence presented of a months-long campaign.
Prosecutor Steven Gagne said that in the fall of 2009, Prince and Mulveyhill had a brief relationship that later came to the attention of Narey, who was Mulveyhill's girlfriend. Mulveyhill later "got mad at Phoebe because he believed she caused friction between himself and Kayla," Gagne said. Narey found out about the relationship from Phoebe, and though at first she said she respected Phoebe for telling her, she later got angry and posted a note slurring Prince on Facebook. Prince saw the note and was upset by it, Gagne said.
Later, Mulveyhill confronted Prince at school and called her disparaging names in the presence of other students. He also encouraged friends of his to be mean to Phoebe, Gagne said, including Narey and Ashley Longe. (Longe and two other teenagers charged in the case are scheduled for hearings in juvenile court tomorrow. They are also expected to plead guilty to minor charges in exchange for probation.)
Gagne said that at lunch on Jan. 14, the day she died, Phoebe was sitting at a table in the library with friends while Mulveyhill, Narey, and Longe sat at another table. Gagne said Mulveyhill told Longe to punch Prince. Longe didn't do so, but she did call Prince disparaging names across the room, loud enough for other students to hear. Mulveyhill encouraged the name calling "and was taking pleasure in it," Gagne said, while Narey laughed mockingly. When a friend of Prince's asked Mulveyhill how he could be so mean to someone he'd cared about, Mulveyhill said she was no longer "his problem."
Later that afternoon, at school dismissal time, Mulveyhill stood with Longe and Narey in the hallway and "continued to provoke Longe to taunt Phoebe." He and Narey stood by and laughed when she did, Gagne said. Prince left the building and started walking home from school, and Longe drove by her and threw an empty drink can at her, yelling, "Whore." Gagne said that when Longe sent Mulveyhill a text message telling him this, and saying that Prince was crying, he wrote back, "Good job."
These aren't the kinds of facts that normally lead to anything like criminal charges—they reveal cruel but common teenage behavior. But they took on a different cast after Prince's suicide later on the afternoon Longe, Narey, and Mulveyhill taunted Prince. Anne O'Brien, Prince's mother, drove home the terrible sadness of her daughter's death when she spoke in court today. She laid much of the heavy weight of the suicide on Mulveyhill, and expressed anger at Narey as well.
Her voice breaking at several points, O'Brien began: "It is nearly impossible to measure the impact of Phoebe's death upon our lives. How do you measure a future loss?" She continued, "As I said goodbye to Phoebe at the crematorium, and held her in her coffin for the last time, my little girl who was so full of life was now so cold. I thought, 'What am I going to do?' There is a dead weight that sits in my chest. It's an unbearable pain and will sit with me until my own death. It is torture."
O'Brien then turned her attention to Mulveyhill. "Phoebe trusted Sean Mulveyhill to take care of her, to guide her through the maze of South Hadley High School. I can only imagine the pain she felt at his unrelenting desire to harass and humiliate her. Sean and I both know I was lied to about the true nature of his relationship with Phoebe. If I'd known, I would have viewed his relationship with my daughter as predatory and I would have forbade her to see him."
O'Brien said that Mulveyhill "set out to humiliate" Prince "and destroy her spirit." She recounted one of Prince's final text messages, in which she wrote to a male friend: "I think Sean condoning this is one of the final nails in my coffin. I can't take much more. It would be easier if he or any one of them, handed me a noose."
"Why could he never have stepped back to see the pain he was causing her?" O'Brien asked. "Where was his empathy?"
O'Brien spoke for a second time during Narey's hearing, which followed Mulveyhill's guilty plea. In addressing Narey's case, O'Brien said, "Phoebe found the courage and compassion to seek out Kayla Narey and apologize to her when she discovered Sean had lied to her. Kayla had the opportunity to be a true leader of the school community and put a stop to Phoebe's torment. Instead, she was too weak of character to match Phoebe's courage."
O'Brien also said that at an earlier point, Narey said to a friend, "If Phoebe is so suicidal, why hasn't she killed herself already?" "Kayla Narey is not capable of compassion even to those she is aware of who are suffering," O'Brien concluded. "Why did Kayla not find the courage and compassion to help Phoebe?"
It was an enormously sad moment, and people blinked back tears all over the small, packed courtroom. And yet O'Brien said yes when Judge C. Jeffrey Kinder asked her if she supported the joint recommendation of the prosecution and defense to resolve the charges against Mulveyhill and Narey with probation. When Judge Kinder asked Gagne to explain his agreement to drop the remaining charges, Gagne said, "The core concern, your honor, of the family and to a large extent the D.A.'s office, was an acknowledgement of wrongdoing."
Gagne said that Mulveyhill provided that by pleading guilty. Narey matched O'Brien's emotion in the apology she read in a quiet, shaking voice.
"Your honor, I would like to extend my heartfelt sorrow and apology to the Prince family, and more importantly, to Phoebe," Narey said. "My parents instilled in me to be kind and considerate and generous to others. For most of my life, I have been able to fulfill that. Unfortunately, during a time in high school, my relationship with my boyfriend became the priority over my core values. My behavior toward Phoebe during this time was unacceptable."
Narey continued, "Phoebe, I wish we could go back to Dec. 10 and 11, when you bravely apologized to me. We had respectful words to each other and though I wasn't happy, I was kind to you. It was my hurt, anger, and jealously that later changed my behavior, after Christmas vacation. That's when I had the chance to be the person I was raised to be. I failed. That failure will always be with me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the unkind words I said about you. I'm sorry for what I wrote on my Facebook page. Most of all I'm sorry for Jan. 14, in the library and in the hallway, when I laughed when someone was shouting humiliating things about you. I am immensely ashamed of myself."
Before Narey spoke, Jennings, her lawyer, tried to explain to the judge why Narey did not merit a harsher punishment. He detailed her record of successful academics and extensive community service. "Certainly she was never known as a bully," he said of her reputation at school. Jennings also said that Narey has acknowledged her misconduct since her initial interview with the police, six days after Prince's death. "She admitted to everything then that she is admitting to today," he said.
Jennings said that it was after Christmas vacation in December 2010 that Narey's "worst instincts took over." He put Narey's remark doubting that Prince was truly suicidal in the context of a previous attempt Prince made to take her life in November 2009, after Mulveyhill broke up with her. (Prince had a two-year history of depression and of cutting herself, according to her mother's statement to the police.) "Kayla was talking to her friends, and saying she didn't believe it was genuine," Jennings said, referring to Prince's November suicide attempt. "That what she did was an attempt to get attention, to make Sean feel sorry for her. It was an awful thing to say. She said it to friends, not to Phoebe. And it's not a criminal act."
This dividing line, between cruel and criminal misconduct, has cut through these cases since they began. I've been writing about Phoebe Prince's death and its aftermath for more than a year. I started asking questions about whether the serious felony charges were warranted after I talked to many students at South Hadley High who didn't think they were, and after I learned from previously undisclosed court documents about Phoebe's troubled psychological history, which predated her time at South Hadley High.
This week, based on reports of the plea deals that unfolded today, I called Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz to help make sense of the discrepancy between last year's indictment and today's resolution. He put it starkly. "It's an amazing plea bargain that they got," Dershowitz said. "It's unheard of to plea from something that serious to something that minor," and in Narey's case, "to end up with a clean record." The only explanation, he said, was that Scheibel and her office had overcharged Mulveyhill, Narey, and the other teens. "If the prosecutors come down so quickly from a charge like that to a plea like this, clearly they're playing games," Dershowitz said.
Scheibel did not run for re-election last fall, and a new district attorney, David Sullivan, took office in January. So it has been left to him and his deputies to figure out how to end what Scheibel's office started. Jennings said in court that he had discussions with Scheibel's office about Narey's case that suggested she was amenable to a resolution largely similar to the one reached today. Still, in South Hadley, and on the Internet, there will surely be anger and upset about the light penalties. At the same time, others will greet the news with quiet acceptance. In talking to students and other South Hadley residents this week, I mostly heard relief that the cases would soon be over.
For the first time last month, a public official, newly elected school board member Robert Abrams, called for "reconciliation" rather than criminal punishment for the six teens. "These kids and their families have suffered tremendously," he told me when I reached him Tuesday night. "That doesn't justify what they did but I think it's an overreach to have them go to jail." I asked Abrams whether he'd faced criticism for saying so publicly, and he said that other than a rash of anonymous comments on the website Masslive, the answer was no. Today, the judge and even the prosecution agreed with him. Which raises this question: Why were these serious charges ever brought?

RULER is a social-emotional literacy curriculum developed by Yale University's Center for Emotional Intelligence. Early Learning spearheaded the adoption of this curriculum, which is now in use at 50 Seattle Public Schools elementary and middle schools.
In order to manage one's emotions to successfully negotiate life experiences, whether at school, work or home, RULER promotes:
The Anchors of Emotional Intelligence are evidence-based tools designed to enhance the emotional intelligence of school leaders, teachers and staff, and students and their families.
RULER includes four primary tools:
Teams of school leaders have attend multi-day RULER training sessions and have in turn shared this training with the rest of their school staff.
The SPS Cabinet, Curriculum and Instruction department staff, representatives from community based organizations, Head Start and PreK staff have learned the 4 RULER "anchor tools" in order to promote system-wide emotional literacy training.
The belief is that teachers and administrators cannot train students to manage their feelings and emotions if they have not first practiced these skills themselves.

Protestors across Bulgaria have demanded the nationalization of Bulgaria's three power utilities – CEZ, EVN, and Energo-Pro.
The deadline they set for the government is quite tight – February 22.
Tens of thousands of disgruntled citizens rallied on Sunday across the country in protest against the excesses of power and heating utilities....
I realy envy you for the 10Eur bill for 3 rooms (I dont use it for heating only lighting/tv/comp, weekly laundry, and rarely microwave). It s weird I mean the heating (gas) should be a lot more yet people there are against shale gas while being totaly dependent on russia yet they protest against what I find a decent bill. Is it politicaly driven/motivated ??? (because as the price seems low and this winter was mild compared to the previous 3-4 winters it seems ilogical to protest on this scale)
We pay about 10 Eur/month for our 3-room apartment. It all depends on your personal circumstances, of course, if you use electric heating or bake a pizza in your electric oven every evening, it will be higher. The funny thing is that electricity prices in Bulgaria are the lowest in the EU (20% lower than the next cheapest, Estonia), and that the power distributors that the protests are aimed at take only 17% of the total price, which is also the lowest % in the EU. But it's the power distributors that send the bills, and electricity is a relatively large part of living expenses also because energy efficiency of households is among the lowest in the EU.
I can't seem to find in any of the numerous novinite articles on this topic how much the electricity bill exactly is. For example for me in a Bucharest studio (1 room) the electricity bill is 15-20EUR and for a two rooms apartment it is 20-25EUR which I both find acceptable (unlike the utilities gas+water bill of 40-50EUR which I hate). So any Sofia resident please enlighten me. On another note this greek aproach to a lower standard of living and the word nationalization can only bring less investment and thus more poverty so I hope things will stay in controll (plus the risk of contagion which would affect me directly).

Ranger's Blanked by BFA
FAIRFAX– Lake Region ran into a buzz saw in the form of BFA ace Robbie Rinaldo, as he set down the Rangers on a three hitter, striking out seven in six innings of work. LR's Tyler Jacobs pitched well, but was touched for a two run homer by Brett Hakey, which broke a 0-0 deadlock in the fourth. Hakey added a double, and would come on in relief, closing out the game for the Academy. Kyle Perry had two hits for the Rangers as they move to 6-5, while BFA now stands at 10-3.
